Chapter 317 [Mankind's First Permanent Base on the Moon]
"You don't need a thousand tons, you can have a carrying capacity of a hundred tons, how much can you reduce the price?"
After speaking, the second-in-command of the National Aviation Administration quietly looked at Gu Cheng with an expectant face, and he couldn't bear it, but he still said: "There is no problem in technology with a smaller one, but it is still not cheap." This is equivalent to redesigning a model, and having to build a new production line, with careful calculations, full calculations, plus the investment in redesign and new production lines, it also has to exceed 30 billion this line. ”
It seems to be nearly half cheaper, but it is reduced by nearly 85~90% compared to the capacity, which is obviously not cost-effective.
The National Aviation Administration still can't afford this price, so it can scrape together enough money to buy one for a year or two or three years or so, after all, many originally scheduled research budgets such as the third phase of the moon landing project and rocket research and development can be saved, and some other relatively unimportant projects can be cut.
But another big problem is that even if you scrape together enough money to buy it back, the maintenance cost of this spacecraft will be billions a year, which is tantamount to a heavy burden for the National Aviation Administration.
"Actually, I think the Air Security Bureau can not be in such a hurry, and the cost will be greatly reduced in the future." Gu Cheng said with a smile.
Hearing this, the second-in-command of the National Aviation Administration was helpless, how long will this future take?
immediately complained: "What do you say...... It's like a child, passing by a toy store and suddenly falling in love with a beloved toy, can't put it down, but doesn't buy it, it's very uncomfortable, thinking about it day and night, the heart is like a cat scratching itchy, this feeling you ......"
"I understand!" Gu Cheng said with a smile: "If you say this, the military will be even more terrible, maybe the military may agree with this plan, if the military can come to place an order, then the cost of redesign and production line can be spread on the model purchased by the military, and the National Aviation Administration can give you a quote for the bare metal." ”
The second-in-command of the Air Aviation Administration couldn't help but light up when he heard this, nodded and said in a deep voice: "That's the only way, such an expensive thing...... Alas! ”
Gu Cheng said with a smile: "Buy early and enjoy it early, and buy it late to discount." ”
After chatting for a while, the two sides ended the meeting.
As he said, Tianqing Technology has now been criticized by overseas media, but what is intriguing is that there are few comments in North America, and the European media is the most fierce.
Lao Mei is beeping quietly now, after all, the outer space treaty was first overturned by Lao Mei itself, and a "Commercial Space Competition Act" came out, which can be said to be Sima Zhao's heart.
I have to say that the US imperialists are now very pragmatic, although they are correct, but more energy is still focused on technology research and development and the "constellation plan" of returning to the moon.
According to the current trend, it is likely that Tianqing Technology is on the far side of the moon, and the United States is on the front side of the moon.
This choice is to hug the thighs, and the two ways are to hug the thighs of Eagle Sauce or the thighs of the rabbits.
After all, the United States has already landed on the moon in the last century, and has landed on six sites on the front side of the moon, which means that the United States has already occupied six territories in advance.
These six territories are the Apollo 11 landing site Tranquility Sea, the Apollo 12 landing site Equatorial Plain Storm Sea, the Apollo 14 landing site Flameolo Heights, the Apollo 15 landing site Apennine Mountains, the Apollo 16 landing site Descartes Crater, and the Apollo 17 landing site Taurles-Lytro Valley.
These sites are all in the northern hemisphere on the front side of the moon and near its equator.
Huaguo's previous Chang'e project Yutu landed in the Aitken Basin on the far side of the moon, but there was no probe, so it was impossible to announce the ownership.
But the Mendeleev meteorite impact crater, with Li Peng leaving footprints on it and uttering a declaration that caused an uproar in the world, has already shown to the whole world that this crater is occupied by me.
……
On September 24, the Mendeleev meteorite impact crater on the far side of the Moon.
It is now the third day of the moon landing, and in the past few days, the moon landing team has sent five teams to drive the lunar rover around the southwest area of the impact crater, of course, not to wander around, but to find the most suitable base site.
Li Peng was also part of the No. 3 lunar rover team, and finally the No. 5 lunar rover team confirmed the location of the permanent base 66 kilometers from the landing area of the Sky Blade spacecraft at 11 o'clock.
After the successful landing on the moon, there was a small team dedicated to live broadcasting, just like the previous ISS.
This is what Gu Cheng requested.
On the one hand, its starting point is to show the world the strength of Huaguo and Tianqing Technology's space exploration and export soft power to the outside world; On the other hand, it is to enhance the self-confidence and pride of the people and cultivate the enthusiasm of the whole people for space exploration.
Three days have passed, the official live broadcast of Tianqing Technology has remained popular, not only the official live broadcast channel, but also allowed to be broadcast by anyone for free, on any online streaming platform, and overseas YouTube has a live broadcast special channel, and a large number of private self-media anchors are not a few, after all, the heat is there, and it is not surprising that the self-media is flocking to it.
Foreign melon-eating netizens squirted, scolded and watched, and were still envious.
It was also ridiculed by melon-eating netizens as the strongest outdoor live broadcast in history, or ridiculed that Huaguo's enclave on the moon is constantly expanding and expanding.
Many foreign scientists are also watching, on the one hand, they are also preparing whether to consider going to China, or even to work there, maybe not only to watch the live broadcast here to speculate on research, but to really go deep into physical research.
After confirming the location of the base, on the afternoon of the 24th, except for the No. 5 lunar rover team, all the other teams that went out to investigate had returned, and Mena drove the Sky Blade spacecraft into the sky again, flying 66 kilometers to reach the designated position.
At about 17 o'clock in the East Eighth District time, the spacecraft successfully landed again, and more than 80 team members took action one after another.
Li Peng has been promoted and is now the director of a team of 25 people.
Everyone, including himself, thought that he was going to be punished for that sentence, Li Peng didn't think much about it at that time, and said it completely naturally, and when he came back to his senses, he was also startled, and he was also very confused how could he say such a thing.
Unexpectedly, instead of being punished, he was promoted and raised, and Li Peng was criticized abroad for being incomplete, but at home he is undoubtedly a hero.
That's enough.
"Be careful, unload all the supplies out of the ship's cargo hold first." Li Peng shouted, then went to the corner of the cargo hold and opened a section of the material reserve box, turned out a small box in it, and jumped along the cargo hold corridor to the surface of the moon again.
After three days, the members of the lunar landing crew have adapted to moving around the lunar surface.
Kicking and trotting, the humanoid rabbit jumping, all wearing the most cool and domineering power armor out of the cabin suit, one by one are rabbit jumping, and its contrast is also to make the audience on the ground smile unconsciously, and the more they watch, the more they want to experience it in person.
This live broadcast is definitely much cooler than watching Hollywood space science fiction films, one is a drama movie, and the other is a real event that is happening, which is completely incomparable.
At this time, the detachment in charge of the live broadcast saw Li Peng walking towards a vacant lot in the distance, and he also followed with a camera, and a member of the director in charge of the broadcast immediately switched the camera.
The audience on the earth is also very curious, it is worth mentioning that the live broadcast has a clear live picture, but there is no sound, because it is blocked, so this is a silent live broadcast, after all, while exporting soft power and enhancing the sense of national pride and honor, the corresponding secrecy is still required.
The audience saw through the live broadcast that Li Peng opened the box he was carrying, took the lead in taking out a retractable metal rod from it, and then erected the metal rod on the surface of the moon with the assistance of another team member.
The domestic audience was inexplicably excited, and the foreign audience was full of complicated faces.
Sure enough, the guess was correct, Li Peng took out a flag from the box, he stared, and suddenly said: "If a miracle has a color, then it must be red." ”
